DOJ Faces Scrutiny Over Proposed Plea Deal with Boeing
Families of 737 MAX crash victims and advocacy groups demand accountability as Boeing's federal contracts remain secure.
- Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco is under pressure to recuse herself due to past ties with Boeing.
- The Justice Department's plea deal includes a $244 million fine and safety investments but avoids criminal penalties for executives.
- Advocacy groups argue the deal fails to hold Boeing adequately accountable for safety violations.
- Legal experts suggest Boeing's government contracts, especially in defense, will not be affected by the plea deal.
- Victims' families criticize the agreement as another lenient deal that undermines justice and safety reforms.
